Work Viewing Evening, Monday 15th March
Thank you to everyone who attended the Work Viewing Evening and to those parents who provided feedback to the Governing Body via the questionnaire.

Message from PTA
Easter Chocolate Raffle – 1 April. Tickets have gone out to parents for the raffle. We have only given out £4 worth of tickets in the hope that all parents buy the tickets, thereby enabling all children to have a chance at winning. Please send in your tickets stubs and money to Mrs Hopkins by Wednesday 31st March.

Chocolate Donations – all chocolate or Easter related donations gratefully received. Bring into school by Wednesday 31st March please.Clothes

Recycling 30th April - For those parents who have never done this before the general idea is to rummage round your house, find unwanted good condition clothes, bedding, shoes, handbags, towels, pop them in a sack which can be obtained from school or Sarah Madry, and deliver them to school on 30th April by 09.30am.

Little Bears News
